Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study was carried out with an aim to determine the spleen size on the parameters of Hai’at-ul-A’za with the help of ultrasonography among the Safravi (Bilious) and Balghami (Phlegmatic) healthy male participants. By the basic principles of Unani medicine, the spleen size may differ based upon the Mizaj (temperament) of the individuals as persons having hot temperament (Sanguineous & Bilious) possesses morphologically larger spleen size in comparison to those of cold temperament (Phlegmatic & Melancholic) persons. Diseases influencing the spleen size such as life style diseases, hormonal and blood disorders were regarded as exclusion criteria. Cranio-caudal length of spleen 100 male participants from 20-35 age groups divided in Bilious & Phlegmatic groups having 50 in each was ultrasonologically measured. The study inferred that the spleen size is larger in Safravi individuals in comparison to those of Balghami one and it validates the theory of Unani physicians that organs of hot temperament individuals are larger than those of cold temperament persons based their body physic.
